On days when spending money on needs instead of wants is a must, women sometimes forget to accessorize. After all, accessories cost money. But you can avoid draining a hole in your pockets by creating a simple but dainty ring for yourself using wires!

THE MATERIALS THAT YOU WILL NEED:

To carry out this DIY ring project, you will need the following:

A piece of 21-in of 22 grams of wire.

A ring mandrel made out of plastic or metal.

A flush cutters

A cup burr

A chain nose plier

A mallet made out of rubber, plastic, or rawhide

After gathering the materials listed above, you should now be ready to start your do-it-yourself wired ring!

STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:

STEP 1 – ARRANGE AND PLACE YOUR CHOSEN BEAD ON THE WIRE

Position your chosen 6-8 mm bead onto the center of the wire.

Round or faceted beads both work well in this project, so feel free to choose either.

STEP 2 – MEASURE YOUR RING SIZE

Measure your ring size using your ring mandrel.

Ensure that the ring is a size bigger than your typical ring size, to allow for space for the bead.

STEP 3 – WRAP THE WIRES AROUND THE MANDREL

Using the mandrel as a mold, wrap the wire of your do-it-yourself ring around 3-4 times.

Be careful when using a metal mandrel with silver plated wires, since wrapping the wire around it may scratch the silver metal finish.

STEP 4 – GATHER THE WIRE UNDERNEATH THE BEAD

Gather the circles of wire and place them as close to the bead as possible.

Carefully gather the wires underneath the bead, to avoid warping the wired ring out of shape.

STEP 5 – WRAP THE BEAD

Wrap the ends of the wire around the bead in a counter-clockwise direction.

Each successive wrapping will go underneath the previous wrap.

Maintain the same tension on both wires.

Complete 3-4 wire wrappings for better security.

STEP 6 – START TWIRLING THE WIRE

Carefully and slowly remove the ring from the mandrel.

Make sure to keep one end of the wire pointing upwards, and the other pointing to downwards.

Working with the wire pointing upwards, begin by bending to down through the band of the ring.

STEP 7 – FINISH TWIRLING THE WIRE

Using the chain nose pliers, firmly pull the end of the wire.

Continue twirling wraps around the four wires to create the band of the ring.

Keep the coils as tight as you can, using pliers to push them together.

Keep in mind that the more twirls you wrap, the smaller ring you will end up creating.

Around 4-5 coils each side should do the trick.

Turn your ring and repeat the process.

Do not cut the excess wire yet.

STEP 8 – STRAIGHTEN THE BAND OF THE RING

Carefully position your wired ring back on the mandrel.

Do not let your wires to overlap one another.

Pull the ring downwards as far as you can on the mandrel to keep the wires straight and neat.

STEP 9 – FINISH THE ENDS OF YOUR WIRED RING

Trim the excess wires.

Use a cup burr or file to smooth the ends.

Using your pliers, push the ends downwards to keep the wires from sticking up.

Be careful not to squeeze too hard, or you will find yourself fixing the ring band once more.

STEP 10 – SHAPE THE RING BAND FOR THE LAST TIME

Flatten and smoothen out the band after pushing down the ends of the wire.

Use your rubber mallet and go over the ring band over again to finish straightening the wires. This will keep the ring secured in its finest shape.
